Moores Go West: Day 16 (Northern California)

The Good: our check engine light went off and truck seems to be ok again. We plan to drive south to more populated areas to get it checked out. The Bad: We had an incident with another dog in the campground. A muzzled dog with no owner came out of nowhere and started attacking Sophie. The kids got out of the way, Daniel came out of the camper and was able to get ahold of the muzzled dog. Another man came over and said this same muzzled dog had been attacking his dogs and kids. Daniel and the other guy (also named Daniel) got the crazy dog under control and leashed with two leashes to our truck. Then Daniel found the owner (the manager of the campground as it turned out 🤯). It was crazy. Thankfully no one got really hurt, but we are all shaken up. The other Daniel brought us fresh cooked rock crab and told us that not all Californians were bad. We are headed to the beach for a bit then will hit the road again. Lord willing we will have no more problems with the truck.

We went and walked the bluffs at Noyo Headlands State Park before moving on for the day. 

Heading south we stopped at Van Damme State Park so the kids could wade in the ocean. It was chilly. It’s nice to travel with a camper and have fresh changes of clothes, towels, and an outdoor shower to hose dirty feet off with. 

Today was mostly a Travel Day. After we did our two beach stops we started the drive through another really winding section of road next to the coast and then over to wine country (Navarro and Sonoma). We stopped to grab In-N-Out in Santa Rosa.... When in California. The boys were not big fans, but I enjoyed my cheeseburger and shake. 

Our beach hike made our 27th hike of 2021 (27/52) and we walked 2.5 miles. This brings us to 76.5 miles hiked this year.
